  Sort of. It lists all the connectors and you can go through and select. They aren’t on by default. The first screen is to connect to the AI and you need an API key for that, so St this time people off the street have no idea how to do that, or want to pay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally installed my own Firewall⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t imagine why you need 32gb for opnsense. I can run it on a single core and 1gb, unless I literally want every DNS blacklist loaded in which case 4gb

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I installed moltbot on a VM to examine it. It doesn’t do the fetching thing unless you set it up that way. You can actually use it with ollama to keep it all local, and only give it a private signal channel to control it.

  Or you can hook it up to everything you access and skynet, which is dumb. But it is just a bunch of scripts.

  Knowledge saves time, this dude is probably a good hardware engineer already

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reproducible alternatives to nextcloud?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ive had no problem in years from the FreeBSD pkg. Wonder what is causing so much trouble.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wine 11 runs Windows apps in Linux and macOS better than ever⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. Steam stuff and old stuff. I don’t play multiplayer, that really seems to be where all the problems lie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox 360 superfan amasses all 1,353 North American discs after two‑decade collection spree⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It really depends so much on disc type. I have CDs burned in the 90s that still work, and DVDs that delaminated two years later. Just depends.

  My PlayStation games still work fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  MS 356

  I’m guessing you typoed, but it is intrare

  Intro intras intrat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the closed ecosystem is just cutting off your nose to game on your face

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still trying to figure it out...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Missed the joke by this much…

  “not all Australian animals can kill you… Don’t get me wrong, he wants to, but he just can’t”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dusting off the old PS2⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All this and no Shadow of the Colossus

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No its Fart Lie

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  FTL is a standard holiday game fore, as well as getting people on a Total Annihilation server. Still super hard and still super awesome

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What free to play games can run smoothly on my old laptop?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think these are better specs than my E7440, which will play Minecraft

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some unique Games to host server's of?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not quite a server, but Total Annihilation. Awesome times. Not sure if supreme commander does it too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m aware of these, but invariably when discussing with my intercompany peers it’s a hard no. When a company completely ditches MS it literally makes the news. The cost vs complexity formula must not make sense (also user retraining and interoperability problems are not solved here either).

  I would love to break the stranglehold MS has on general corporate productivity computing but I also want to keep my job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Linux is missing enterprise management tools. For all its horrible flaws, nothing like SCCM, In tune, group policy, and Active Directory (in the sense of managing group policy, not so much identity) exist for Linux. Fix that, even commercially, and you might see a real change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the one drive cramming that really gets me, well also changing the right click context menu to hide cut and paste, wtf.

  But seriously, not letting you move the Onedrive pin down the hotlinks sidebar out of the way? Extremely annoying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple announces more ads are coming to App Store search results⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The auction part is the best though, because you can now have it done by AI…run by the ad company. So competing companies both buy the ad companies’ AI to battle to win the auction for the ad companies’ space. They’re dipping at both ends and in the middle, which is a nice place to be

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I paint houses⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The solution is right up there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Apple just has better image control

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ever seen a Chromebook? Almost no drive space, because Google.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fun/interesting things to self host?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Searxng. Just use a private instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It will be great, they said...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Firewall with pfblocker and good feeds solves most of the problem. Spamassassin and URLBLs still work. It really isn’t hard, once you set it up the config never changes. The static IP is by far the worst part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And here I am resurrecting Dell laptops from 2010 with 1.5gb DDR RAM and Debian

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Enshittification of Plex Is Kicking Off, Starting with Free Roku Users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  how, indeed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about SearXNG - an open metasearch engine⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Works fine for me as well. Using public instances can be hit or miss. I just installed it locally, which I get is not possible for many, but it does work. Try lesser known instances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The only real usability issue I’ve had is auto cataloging. It isnt right much of the time. But I don’t have any remote users that don’t have network access so that simplifies things a whole lot.
